The Chopittos Arkestra – Zavanardi Rising (2012)

Comment:I cannot be wrong to claim that Brazil
is a country for much outstanding music beginning from sensual bossa nova and
jazz artists to challenging psychedelic Tropicalia output Os Mutantes to
elegant, thoroughly dream-filled shoegazing combo Inverness to artists issued
under indie/experimental/post-rock/post-metal imprint Sinewaves to frenetic
improvised noise/avant-rock combo Chinese Cookie Poets to…Lucas Pastina and his
related projects. Indeed, Lucas Pastina is an eccentric musician who has
created lots of albums with intention to explore obscure facets within
different genres, create rock sounds which either used to be in focus or
deliberately staying outside it. For instance, this 20-bar issue is a frantic
parade of different styles ranging from dislocated hard rock sounds and rough blues
rock vibes to spaced-out rock universes and demented soil-eating psyched-out compositions
to uncanny yet brisk electronic paths moving sidewise. Those cathedral organ
drenched arcs and exhausted confessions of a human being stay beyond
classification altogether at The Power of
The Fish. Samba Suor E Salame is
a cute bossa nova song, isn`t it? At first sight indeed. The more you listen to
it the more intricately aligned sounds and effects can be found to be surfacing
from within it. The whole is silly and inspiring at the same time. The listener
can enjoy the artist`s fantasy coming over to the listener`s side. Moreover,
you can discern some sort of magic fog which fluctuates within the tracks and
across the whole set. Get all the artist`s issues at Soundcloud.
